Holiday camp for young people with learning disabilities | 21 – 26 July 2019

Day 1 – Arrival

On your arrival day we meet in the late afternoon in your accommodation, the JUFA in Schladming. There we will get to know each other, give you an overview of the coming week and of course answer all your questions. We will also show you the entire accommodation so that you can orientate yourself there.

Day 2 and 3 – Hiking and over night stay in a hut

For 2 days we are on a great hut hike with group dynamic activities. During the hike nature offers us enough opportunity to get to know each other. In the hut we experience an evening of social get-togethers and rustic “alpine comfort”. If the weather permits, we will end this evening with a campfire.

Day 4 – Swimming and water massage

After 2 days of physical exertion we deserve a break. We spend this day with a lot of fun and action in the swimming pool. If you like, you can enjoy a deep relaxing hydromassage by our staff.

Day 5 Morning – High ropes course

Strengthened and rested, another absolute highlight is on the programme on the fourth day. A visit to the high ropes course is an unforgettable experience for everyone and will be deeply anchored in your memory. For each of you there is a suitable adventure! At the Flying Fox, a long rope slide, you can experience the breathtaking feeling of speed and the certain “tingling” in your stomach.

Day 5 Afternoon – Dachstein

In the afternoon we will stand at an altitude of almost 3,000 metres between heaven and earth and experience the fascination of the mountains up close. Only what for extreme mountaineers? Wrong! On the Sky Walk! On the Sky Walk at the Dachstein EVERYONE can experience it. There we will let the wind blow around our ears and feel the snow during a snowball fight even in summer.

Day 5 – Evening program

We let our last evening duly end. Tonight we will explore Schladming.

Day 6 – Rafting

The crowning finale – a rafting tour! After you have exchanged your clothes for a wetsuit and paddle, a tour awaits you at the Enns that has everything to offer. Afterwards, the energy stores must of course be refilled. And what could be better than a barbecue on the banks of the Enns? On this occasion we can review the highlights of the adventure week and exchange addresses with the participants who have become friends.
